Scientific paper

The University of Arizona Fourier transform spectrometer on the NASA Kuiper Airborne Observatory (KAO) was used to obtain high resolution spectra of the intense, solar-pumped infrared (IR) fluorescent emission in the (001-000) band of H2O near λ ≡ 2.65 μm. The authors discuss the differences between the observed H2O excitation and their original expectations, and compare the KAO water production rates to those derived from International Ultraviolet Explorer observations. They also comment on possible future directions for high resolution IR spectroscopy of comets.
